Would you be willing to share why it is that you feel, or your cardiologist or electrophysiologist, feels that you need to be on amiodarone? You are the first person I seem to recall who is on amiodarone after an ablation, unless there are other factors at play. Some need flecainide, for example, maybe for the blanking period that follows, and some ablations fail and the patient resumes arrhythmia and needs the help of an anti-arrhythmic. Amiodarone, as you surely are aware, is a potent drug, sort of the 'last resort' drug, so I'm curious. Please don't feel the least bit inclined to reply if you'd rather not.
